CONCLUSIONS:

Video game skill correlates with laparoscopic surgical skills. Training curricula that include video games may help thin the technical interface between surgeons and screen-mediated applications, such as laparoscopic surgery. Video games may be a practical teaching tool to help train surgeons.

Wow that’s extraordinary! Maybe video games aren’t such big time wasters after all. Whatever is going on here, this may be due to video games improving hand-eye coordination(which makes me wonder if juggling could improve surgical ability too).
